Abstract (from CDS):

We report on the confirmation and mass determination of a transiting planet orbiting the old and inactive G7 dwarf star HD 219666 (M_*=0.92±0.03M_☉, R_*=1.03±0.03R_☉, τ_*=10±2Gyr). With a mass of M_b=16.6±1.3M_⊕, a radius of R_b=4.71±0.17R_⊕, and an orbital period of P_orb~= 6-days, HD 219666 b is a new member of a rare class of exoplanets: the hot-Neptunes. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observed HD 219666 (also known as TOI-118) in its Sector 1 and the light curve shows four transit-like events, equally spaced in time. We confirmed the planetary nature of the candidate by gathering precise radial-velocity measurements with the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) at ESO 3.6 m. We used the co-added HARPS spectrum to derive the host star fundamental parameters (T_eff=5527±65K, logg_*=4.40±0.11(cgs), [Fe/H]=0.04±0.04dex, log R'_HK=-5.07±0.03), as well as the abundances of many volatile and refractory elements. The host star brightness (V=9.9) makes it suitable for further characterisation by means of in-transit spectroscopy. The determination of the planet orbital obliquity, along with the atmosphericmetal-to-hydrogen content and thermal structure could provide us with important clues on the formation mechanisms of this class of objects.
